Luton won't win the league - Premier League 2023/24

Newcastle may be unfortunately good

dunno if the Mings injury might've got in a few heads either

Ugh, yeah. What a way to start the season.

i make it a policy to celebrate injury to violent pigshit thick cunts whose usp is to attempt to injure better players

total bullshit to disallow everton goal also

I have to say I find Chelsea’s attempt to piss all over financial fair play to overspend on a million different players absolutely fascinating. There is no way Todd Boehly doesn’t play Football Manager, and play it like an 11 year old boy.

yeah, I'm not buying Vicario

fuck it actually why not:

this ref is a cunt

and jesus cmon surely club dna isnt real it cant be can it

was just coming to post that I heard deems detonate from here

ref genuinely a cunt tho cmon all must acknowledge

ive been screaming for royal off since before 1-0 but the game makes a fool of us all in time

sanchez def a fall guy but that yellow was a nonsense yes

royal, bar a v nice goal, has been comical

yeah, I'm not buying Vicario

Hes not great on the ball

fuck me that is another var call

really weird hesitation in key areas so far which im not loving across the team

vicario looks like he might make a slightly undependable third choice keeper tbh

Spurs aren't really going to go an entire season with Richarlison as their only striker are they

we signed an argentine prospect

and we should wrap up a deal for gift orban this week apparently

neither play right back

This is getting rather ridiculous now

🚨 Romeo Lavia has chosen to join Chelsea from Southampton. Liverpool were pursuing but are aware of decision. #CFC & #SaintsFC have good relations, so no issues expected on deal or personal terms. Fee likely to be around £50m + add-ons @TheAthleticFC #LFC https://t.co/EjmFknCViS

fucks sake

Lol was just talking about this - I assume FFP doesn't apply to Chelsea

who does it apply to at this point?

lol i can think of one team it does

cough

good luck tonight obvs

cough

I'm cautiously optimistic about the season at the moment which if you're not before you've played a game then things really are grim

gonna enjoy watching this while working.

"cautiously optimistic" might be a little strong but I don't think things are as bad as our pessimists are painting it

not until there's evidence, anyway

starting with, I guess, Cunha as a hypothetical number 9 is not a statement of bold intent

hope Kalajdzic stays in one piece this year

Mason Mount sounds like the name of a hipster folk band

enjoying the pace of this one

Utd absolutely abysmal so far. Van Gaal vibes

so close Sarabia

damn it boys you learned last year that missing these opps comes back to bite you later. so close again

Good effort, good energy, no striker

Ditto for Utd. Apart from the first and second part

think Kalajdzic will be a super sub?

he ain't 90 minute ready but maybe could fire one on target in a 20 minute appearance

Cunha leads the league in almost goals

Enjoying Wolves' gameplan of simply running at Utd

please just find a forehead here.

jfc. i don't know where the goal is gonna come from at this point.

Cunha's had a helluva match otherwise

like we didn't see that coming.

hey look, Fabio Silva actually taking shots that have some velocity in the direction of goal.

Kalajdzic! the giant

pitch invader in a promising attacking position. thanks dick.

this should be a pen

Rodrigo Gomes scored

He scored again

3-1 win. What an incredible night.

nice :)

Cunha injury not so nice. lol of course our new number 9 didn't score

Ugh I didn't even know about that, being how frequent subs happen in these friendlies I didn't realize it was for an injury :(

it mightn't be anything serious but yeah, his knee apparently

Talking of pre-season friendlies in the US.

https://www.skysports.com/football/chelsea-vs-celtic/report/504604

celtic should play all their champions league matches in the us for good luck

Chelsea should play all their games in the US for the opposite reason

Bingo!

struggling to think of what part of the us the rich tory club would fit in, maybe dallas

It's always a good day when we get to laugh at Chelsea

Chelsea should play all their games in the US for the opposite reason

Ditto Man City, who've lost to Celtic (again!) and AC Milan, losing seven goals in the process.

Lol I can't believe Man City had to play Milan at Yankee Stadium. The pitch is only 110 yd × 70 yd
(101 m × 64 m), smallest used in MLS, and it frequently turns matches into pinball as balls bounce recklessly off shins, and wing play is difficult.

Pep musta been aggravated - I think he even had to change his shape for the match

Not to mention the baseball diamond that is sodded over

I know it's still preseason but Rodrigo Gomes may just be a handful for opponents this season. He's been fantastic this first half against RB Leipzig

i guess we'll need a new thread soon, but i'll leave my RIP Neto tribute in this one

Noooooooo

Hopefully this means they're planning to land another whale in the transfer window :(

Miss you already Pedro

tbh he was the best option to sell for the money and two months ago i'd've expected this. shame he's opted to throw his career away but hey

fuckin chelsea fuckin city

genuinely league destroying cunts, and the fa useless cunts

spend all that money to finish 6th

Hopefully.

that Leicester miracle season gets harder to harder to believe the further we get away from it. hell, hard for me to picture anybody winning hte league with just 81 points anymore in this era of disparity.

well its even weirder when you remember 21 of those points were the last several teams lying down in front of them to stop spurs winning it

when does 2025/6 kick off

don't know if i've ever bothered to watch a Charity Shield game as an adult

anyway somebody needs to start the new thread, i'm useless at titles so it won't be me

oh im watching spurs

lol i did wonder but couldn't be bothered to google

friendlies are meaningless obv

Aston Villa won't win the league - Premier League 2024/25

Forgive the lack of consultation re: title but as an insufferable fan of a top 4 moneyball club I have taken the liberty. I wouldn't want to die without knowing what luxury is

consultation has no place in the Prem so i'm fine with this

with city winning it again its morelike cuntstultification amirite
